A system, apparatus and method of pre-fetching data are provided. When a first piece of information is being displayed to a user, the system, apparatus and method determine whether a second piece of information is data-intensive. If the second piece of information is data-intensive, it is pre-fetched into a cache. To implement the invention, however, the application program used to display the information to the user is first parsed for embedded database query calls. If the application program provides the information to the user in a number of succeeding panels, each piece of code representing a panel will be individually parsed. Each query call is identified as selectable or un-selectable. A selectable query call is a call that is used to fetch a piece of data-intensive information; whereas an un-selectable query call is a call that is used to fetch non-data-intensive information. Each selectable call is entered in its respective panel in a table, which is divided into the same number of panels. This allows the system, apparatus and method to determine whether a second piece of information is data-intensive and thus pre-fetch the data for caching.
